Zhou Zhengyi, the former richest man in Shanghai who was released from prison last year, recently celebrated his 60th birthday in a high profile, with six of Shanghai’s leading TV hosts making a collective appearance, attracting attention. In addition to rumors that Beijing sent an investigation team to Shanghai to investigate, the final results of the official treatment are now rumored to be made.
On April 18, Zhou Zhengyi held a 60th birthday party at the Wanda Ruihua Hotel, a five-star hotel on the Bund in Shanghai, with the words “not forgetting the original heart and returning to one’s true nature” and other words, inviting celebrities and stars to the party, including six hosts from the Shanghai Radio and Television Station. The six celebrities were invited to the party, including the six hosts of Shanghai Radio and Television Station, who came on stage to support Zhou Zhengyi.
These six people are Cheng Lei, Chen Rong, Zhu Zhen, Ni Lin, Fang Haiyan, and Dai Liu Fei of First Financial. When the incident came to light, it sparked a public outcry.
Shanghai Radio and Television, Shanghai Culture Radio and Film Group Co., Ltd. internal newspaper “Media People”, on April 29, the six hosts to attend Zhou Zhengyi’s birthday party caused by the public opinion issued the first time to deal with the notification.
According to the report, on April 26, Shanghai Radio and Television held an office meeting to “inform and warn” the station’s middle-level cadres about the recent incident in which the station’s hosts “irregularly participated in Zhou’s birthday banquet and made inappropriate remarks”.

After the above notice came to light, well-known columnist Fu Zhifeng posted on Weibo on April 30, saying that all the hosts’ qualifications were permanently revoked, some were fired and others were observed, receiving minimum wages and not allowed to appear on other local stations.
Mr. Fang, a source close to the entertainment industry in Shanghai, recently told Radio Free Asia overseas that a few days ago, an investigation team from the central government arrived in Shanghai to investigate the circumstances surrounding Zhou Zhengyi’s birthday party: “The central investigation team came, as far as I know, because ‘not forgetting the original intention’, not the municipal party committee directly investigated The investigation team is investigating, now it is the central investigation team to investigate, it is not the turn of the local government to investigate. Shanghai’s SMG Group (Shanghai Media Group) has a few senior to go (birthday party), he himself does not admit, was dug out photos.”
It is rumored that the investigation team’s investigation objectives, including Zhou Zhengyi birthday banquet stage scenery written “do not forget the original heart, return to the original color”, to investigate the true meaning of the word “original color”.
According to news circulating on WeChat, the Shanghai Second Intermediate Court approved Zhou Zhengyi’s release nearly two years early, and all those who signed the letter are to be investigated.
Li Tianhai, a businessman familiar with China’s political environment, said Zhou Zhengyi could be in big trouble and he doesn’t know it yet. Zhou is “to blame”.
Zhou is the former chairman of the board of directors of Shanghai Real Estate Holding Company and former chairman of Nongai Group. Once the “richest man in Shanghai,” Zhou was twice imprisoned and twice wanted by Hong Kong’s Independent Commission Against Corruption.
Zhou was a former front man for former Communist Party leader Jiang Zemin’s family, and was once a prominent figure on the Shanghai Bund. Zhou’s case stirred up power at the core of the Communist Party, sparking infighting at the top and eventually leading to the fall of then Shanghai Party Secretary Chen Liangyu.
On May 28, 2002, the Jing’an District government signed a contract with Zhou Zhengyi for a “land-grant-free renovation of an old district”, and Zhou was awarded a 176,400 square meter plot of land in the “East Eight Blocks” for zero price. Zhou Zhengyi was able to get this piece of fat for free because Chen Liangyu was behind it.
The “Shanghai Gang” reportedly arranged for Zhou Zhengyi to take the “East Eight” land in his own name and go to Hong Kong to make money, but in reality Zhou Zhengyi only got two of them, Chen Liangyu’s brother Chen Liangjun got one, Jiang Zemin’s eldest son Jiang Mianheng got one in the name of Shanghai United Investment Co.
The other piece was taken by Jiang Zemin’s second son Jiang Miankang in the name of the Shanghai Municipal Government Construction Committee. Through Zhou Zhengyi, the Jiang family gang circles money in Hong Kong, borrows money from banks around the world, and then distributes it to the Jiang family gang. The actual Zhou Zhengyi is the scapegoat of the Jiang family gang.
